I can't control my thoughts anymore.

As someone who knows what you're going through, go outside.

I mean it. Get away from the computer (ESPECIALLY if you're the kind of person who googles to see what is wrong with them), away from games, away from sitting and/or laying around. Go outside and do something. Doesn't matter if it's raking up the leaves leftover from fall or just cleaning up around the yard. Do anything to get you active and working your muscles. It will get your mind off of everything else. The less you are doing the more likely you will get stuck in negative thought.

If you really do need meds, well, Zoloft is on the lower end, plus they all effect everyone differently. Maybe ask your doc to change what you are on. Maybe suggest Lexapro. Stay away from Xanax, it's no good for you. Lexapro kind of just mellows you out and while you will still have thoughts, it shouldn't be anywhere near as bad. It is the only thing to help me out and I am already in the process of weening myself off it and getting back to using nothing. It's my first med and I have been on it for ~2+ months. I just hate having to take meds.

Exercise and try to keep very active is my best advice. Spend time in the sun.

 

 

Not sure what kind of anxiety you have, but I have health anxiety. Every little thing gets my mind racing.
